Abstract excerpt

Advances in genetic research have provided a basis for susceptibility testing for Alzheimer disease (AD). Prior surveys have examined attitudes toward genetic testing for AD in hypothetical scenarios, but it is unclear what reasons would motivate people to seek testing in real-life situations. This study presents data from the first randomized trial to evaluate genetic susceptibility testing for asymptomatic...
